It has been eight years since Australia last won a Cup title on the IRB Sevens World Series, in Brisbane in 2002, but there is no doubt that they enter their home Adelaide leg of the world tour as one of the form teams.

Last month at the USA Sevens in Las Vegas the young Wallabies lost narrowly in the semi finals to eventual champions Samoa, and have gelled into a tight unit under Coach Michael O'Connor.

Clinton Sills absence through injury is tough on the side, but O'Connor believes his youngsters are capable of handling the unique demands of a home event.

O'Connor said pressure is a really good thing for his boys and coming off a pretty good result in Las Vegas, they are really looking forward to the Australia sevens.

He said you talk to any of the teams who play in a home tournament, and there's something special about playing in your own country.

The Australia sevens tournament starts tomorrow at 8.30pm with the opening match between Samoa and France.
